JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On May 27th, 2020, Grand Forks Police Officer Cody Holte lost his life in the line of duty.

Officer Holte, 29, was killed in a shootout that also claimed the life of a woman, injured another law enforcement officer, and wounded the suspect who initiated the exchange.

One year later, an event is planned for June 13th that will honor the former officer and 1st Lt. with the National Guard.

“I served with Lt. Holte for five years in the 817th Engineer Company in Jamestown,” says organizer Ryan Lindberg. “The planned event will feature multiple agencies and is dedicated on behalf of our unit.”

Linberg says they plan to meet at 2 PM on Sunday, June 13th at the Jamestown Civic Center with different agencies including the Jamestown Police Department, Grand Forks Police, Fargo Police, Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office, different army units, and more.

The event will leave the Civic Center shortly after 2 PM and travel 25 miles north of town on Highway 281 where the procession will pay their respect for the fallen officer.

“There’s been good agency response,” Lindberg added.

The public is invited to send off the procession from the Jamestown Civic Center.

Holte had been with the police department for three years. He is survived by a wife and infant son. He also served concurrently in the Army Reserve and Army National Guard for about a decade.
